A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes: Before a cold sore appears the area will sometimes tingle, feel slightly raised and may appear red and inflamed. This pain or tingling sensation is called the prodrome (or warning symptom) and typically occurs 1 to 2 days before the cold sore appears. Take an antiviral like valtrex (valacyclovir).
